When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home it unfolds
And if you love me, won't you let me know?
When I'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home it unfolds
And if you love me, won't you let me know?
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
«Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!»
Those Christmas lights,
Light up the streets,
Maybe they'll bring her back to me.
Then all my troubles will be gone,
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on!
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start.
I swam across; I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cos you were all yellow
I drew a line; I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow.
